would have seen the same rise _eventually_. I know from a friend that worked R&D at a major car company that Tesla really lit a fire under then and 'forced' them to push their own EV experiments from proof of concepts to commercial product much faster than they where originally thinking about doing it.

Only if the camera is angled in such a way that it only sees your property. A door bell camera that can also see the public road in front your house for example is technically not allowed, even if most people ignore that rule.

Nothing is stopping you. I've published papers and presented at academic conferences while working in industry. Both in collaboration with academics and without.

We definitely should allow that for MBA students, since that will most closely mirror what they'll be doing once they get into the work force.

Knowing what the answer is supposed to be makes it much easier to reverse engineer the workings, and it lets you double check that your workings are correct. Also many of the more advanced graphing calculators (don't know the TI-89 specifically) have build in CAS systems and can do symbolic differentiation and as such help with showing your workings as well.

Plus the fact that these calculators let you store arbitrary data, so you can have your entire textbook stored in memory if you wanted.

As someone with a 96+% 'failure' rate on Udemy/Coursera I honestly don't see the relevance of this statistic. Most people going to University are there primarily because they want/need the degree. That piece of paper is really valuable, perhaps even more so than the knowledge gained. The piece of 'paper' offered by Coursera/Udemy etc. has basically zero value, so the people taking those courses are doing it almost exclusively for the knowledge they offer. Once you've learned what you wanted to learn from the course there is very little incentive to go the extra mile and go for the 'completion'.

That doesn't change the fact that very many apps are in fact that slow that it does matter.

Most civil engineers don't do a lot of programming, but virtually all civil engineering companies have people on staff that program. Mostly for developing custom and project specific tools and plugins for the software they use.

For what it's worth I know several people in various roles at various aviation companies big and small, and everybody uses C++. Second most common language is probably Matlab for simulation and modelling. While a lot of Ada code exists I've never heard of anyone writing new Ada code.

They've apparently written their own web crawler that attempts to infer what language is used based on a bunch of, unspecified, heuristics. I wonder if at least some of the problem is that it is very easy to see if site uses PHP and much harder to see if a site uses a python backend and a such most python using sites just aren't being counted.

Honestly even this is questionable. If a running app gets focus between me asking for the new app to launch and that app actually launching, I probably want the existing app that has focus to keep focus until I actively click on the window of the new app.
